Punnyz 05/01/21 3:31:44 PM #15:	well, I recently got my first twitch check and I'm half way to getting my next already so I can give some advice While there IS a curve, its not that is hard, but its just..foreign? you'll have to learn the program and how to use it. I just BARELY got around to using the more advanced stuff so no worries, you can still stream and learn along the way, you don't have to do it all at once. you can easily have someone show you the ropes too I use a program called OBS studio Streamlabs apparently sucks and uses too much CPU. Yea, theres always gonna be people that swear by it like Tarvould, but I can vouch its a good program but the most important thing is the mindset. If you're thinking you're gonna be the next hotshot streamer, thats probably not gonna be a good idea. I've seen many people legit leave their jobs for this stuff and fail. Its like saying "I'm gonna be in the NBA!" when you're 30 and have no previous basketball skill. This ain't no goofy disney movie, its probably not gonna happen, ya know? I think being a financially successful streamer usually means you need something ELSE going on too. Like you being a youtuber or something. I feel like these people make both fanbases feed into each other (Youtube audience watches the stream and streamers go to the youtube channel). JUST being a streamer and wanting to make it, theres too much going against you. This definitely just needs to be a hobby. and one of which doesn't cause you stress. You CAN make a schedule but its generally not a good idea for like, mental health. Just jump on when you can. at LEAST try to be consistent with your times if you can. but yea, people can still find your VODs and see you that way too and one important thing to do is to have a layout. Even I didn't get one until recently. You'd THINK people would be just interested in the game and would just WANT the game displayed only, but people are legit gonna be interested in you more and will come back for you. THATS the audience you want. So you gotta have nice stuff there for them. You're worried you might be boring but again, thats just putting stress on yourself. Just be you. I will at least say the only thing you SHOULD be mindful of is don't be droning. don't be learning back just barely talking or something. Put some pep in your step, and try to explain your thought process of actions during the gameplay. If you get reminded of a story or something interesting pops in your head, go and and recite it. Be ready to engage viewers if they start talking to you, welcome them etc One last thing I can think of is have a social media for this stuff. Twitter, Discord, etc. Give a way for people to interact with you off stream. --- https://imgur.com/qBpLe47 https://imgur.com/25MHSn1 <cite>Punnyz posted [p:953444816] in Do any of ...
